seems like an excuse for bittul torah. spray them with kosher lemehadrin with a rabbanut hashgakha, red, foul odor water that cannot be ever washed out so they remain red and farshtunkin.
DrYidd and anewuser, have you ever heard of the massive violent protests against giyus banos? The mesorah doesn’t change and you won’t find one competent rav that will tell you that its ok.
The Chazon Ish sanctioned such protests.
If it was yous daughter behind bars you wouldn’t protest?
All they need to do is release the frum girl from jail! If she were your sister what would you do to get her released?
